What happened to slamming the door with all my might and opening it in one strike? Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and didn't let himself fall to the ground. Then, he heard a series of cracking sounds as the door slowly rose and opened.
Zhou Wen suspected that there was no need for him to slam the door with all his might like Wang Mingyuan had said. However, Zhou Wen didn't have any evidence.
After the door rose, Zhou Wen saw the scene inside the hall. There were no statues of gods, nor were there tables. Inside the hall, there were many stone monuments.
Every stone monument was engraved with many strange lines and patterns. He had no idea what they meant.
Zhou Wen stood outside the door and counted. Indeed, they were arranged in the same way as the note.
Zhou Wen alternated his hands as though he was walking. He followed the path Wang Mingyuan had pointed out and entered the stone monument array. When he passed by some stone monuments, Zhou Wen pressed the stone monument with one hand on the ground.
After circling the stone monument array for a while, he finally completed all the actions. The stone monument rotated, revealing a stone staircase that led underground.
Zhou Wen hurriedly entered the stone staircase and finally heaved a sigh of relief. When his feet landed on the ground, he returned to his normal state.
As he sized up the stone staircase, he saw that the stone walls on both sides were engraved with patterns that Zhou Wen didn't know what they meant. Most of them were simple lines and dots that were arranged in a certain way.
He walked down the stone steps and before long, the stone steps took a turn. It was still a stone staircase that led downwards, like the stairs of a building.
He kept walking down, and after more than a hundred stone steps, he still couldn't see the end. The patterns on the stone walls remained, but he had no idea what they were for.
Just as Zhou Wen suspected that the stone steps were endless and that it was an endless loop, he saw that the stone steps below were somewhat different.
The stone steps below had turned into a jade-like shape and were emitting a cold air.
He stepped onto the jade steps and continued walking down. Before long, he reached the end. Below him was a room made of jade. In the middle of the room floated a black cocoon.
There were many cracks on the cocoon's body. Wisps of black gas emitted from the cracks, but the black gas wasn't emitted. It was absorbed by the white rings on the black cocoon.
There were a total of seven rings on the black cocoon. They looked like they were made of jade and had mysterious incantations engraved on them.
When Zhou Wen looked at the black cocoon, he suddenly realized that there was a black eye staring at him from one of the cracks.
"Human, do you want me to become your contractor?" When Zhou Wen saw the eyes, he heard an ethereal voice coming from the black cocoon.
"No," Zhou Wen answered without hesitation.
He could naturally tell that there was something wrong with the Guardian inside the black cocoon.
There were no Mythical creatures protecting him here. Furthermore, the black cocoon was clearly imprisoned. This was completely different from the Guardians he had seen before.
"Human, don't you want great power? As long as you form a contract with me, you can obtain immense power and advance to the Mythical stage. "The voice from the black cocoon sounded again.
"If you were really that strong, you wouldn't have been imprisoned here." Although Zhou Wen said that, he thought to himself, Who has the ability to imprison a Guardian here? Was it a human? I'm afraid humans don't have such powerful abilities.
Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, the Guardian inside the black cocoon seemed to turn irascible. Large amounts of black demonic aura surged out from the cracks. As it had absorbed too much demonic aura, even the white jade bracelets had turned raven-black.
"Human, I'm the strongest Guardian. No one can imprison me. I'm the one who imprisons myself." The black cocoon's voice sounded again.
"Then why did you imprison yourself?" Zhou Wen naturally didn't believe him.
"You don't need to know the reason. You only need to know that after signing a contract with me, you will become the strongest human. In the future, you will become the strongest existence. That's enough. The power I'll give you is something you humans can't even dream of, "the voice said again.
"I heard that signing a Guardian requires a special physique and talent. Are you sure my physique and talent are what you need?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"The fact that you can come here proves that you have the qualifications to sign a contract with me," the Guardian inside the cocoon said.
"You make it sound nice. You just want to find a random human to contract and escape first," Zhou Wen said with a twitch of his lips.
"Human, it looks like you don't understand how great of an opportunity you will miss." The Guardian inside the cocoon continued, "Don't you desire strength? Don't you want to become the greatest hero of humanity? In the future, there will definitely be a terrifying battle in the human world. When the time comes, no one will be spared. Those below the Mythical stage won't even have the right to struggle for survival. If you sign a contract with me, you still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you can only wait for death. This is your chance to live. "
"You don't have to be alarmist. I don't believe anything you say." Zhou Wen looked at the black cocoon and asked, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your name?"
"Grim Demon," said the voice inside the black cocoon.
"Silly Demon?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. The name sounded a little odd.
Grim Demon clearly heard the mistake in Zhou Wen's pronunciation. Demonic aura spewed out from the black cocoon as it said angrily, "A demon born to kill. I'm Grim Demon."
"So it's Grim Demon. This name … Domineering …" Although Zhou Wen said that, he couldn't get the word "Silly Demon" out of his head due to his preconceived impression.
"Human, have you considered it? As long as you contract me, not only can you survive the terrifying battle, but you will also have the chance to defeat all the races in the world and become the strongest existence … "Grim Demon continued.
"I've seen quite a number of Guardians. They're nothing impressive. They're not as powerful as you say." Zhou Wen wore a doubtful expression.
"There are experts among Guardians too. Which Guardians have you seen?" Grim Demon didn't believe Zhou Wen.
"I've seen a six-winged angel. He can open the Door to Heaven. He looks quite powerful," Zhou Wen said.
"I can tear that birdman apart with one hand. It's not worth mentioning. After you sign a contract with me, defeating him will be as easy as flipping your hand," Grim Demon said disdainfully.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, Keep bragging. After all, bragging isn't illegal. I can't prove it.
However, Zhou Wen didn't say that out loud. He continued, "I've also seen a Guardian named Fairy Burial. He looks quite powerful."
